Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good deeds and give glory to your Father who is in Heaven.
Matthew 5:16
Phase III Begins!
God has been so good to the MCS community and our new facilities now provide the ample space needed to expand our academic offerings in elementary and middle school. We step forward into Phase III trusting and believing all the Lord has ahead for MCS.
Our Core Values serve as guideposts for every facility improvement, academic program, spiritual growth opportunity, faculty hire and strategic decision.
Bright Future's Phase I Dreams Have Been Realized!
Bright Future's Phase II Vision Has Been Realized!
- “Classroom of the future” 37 larger, modernized learning environments throughout elementary and middle school, with flexible furniture layouts that have been design-engineered by our very own teachers for their specific grade level demands, next gen technology, and window installation in all exterior-facing classrooms.
- Two brand new Maker Spaces stocked with equipment and resources customized for all grades to explore, create and apply design principles
- Implementation of future-oriented whole school security system
- Two open-air two-story Atriums, incorporating natural light throughout our campus
- Middle school Commons Area for students to gather, collaborate, study, and build Christ-honoring friendships
- Completely redesigned layout with widened hallways to significantly improve effectiveness and traffic flow on both floors including reclamation of 10,000 sq. Ft. in Middle School
- Dedicated front entry stairway to easily access Middle School
- New administrative Suite of Offices
- New computer controlled LED lighting* throughout the building
- New A/C system* throughout the building which includes the capacity to install MERV 13 filters and is significantly more efficient than the prior system.
*Between lighting and A/C we are experiencing a 40% savings in our electricity costs.
With the completion of Bright Future Phase II, we're now able to implement academic programming we've been planning for several years. Additional classrooms, meeting rooms, and improved traffic flow allow these innovative programs to come to life, making a positive impact on all of our students across elementary and middle schools.

Bright Future's Phase III and Beyond
Now that the physical modifications of Phase I and II are completed, we focus new attention to three critical strategic goals in Phase III.
First, we plan to purchase flexible furniture to complete our modernized learning environments, enabling maximum opportunities for the individual student or group. This furniture can be strategically configured by teachers or students based upon varying needs to enhance and support our innovative academic programs and changing technology needs. Whether it is a new project that a class is tackling or a different grade level using a particular classroom, having flexible furniture means more options and more learning.
Our second objective is paying off debt which is crucial for long term sustainability. Our priority is to quickly pay off our mortgage and other obligations. Being debt free allows us to focus on other priorities, especially aligning our teaching salaries with the public schools.
Our third and final goal for Phase III is to expand our existing endowment fund to increase financial aid and scholarship opportunities. It is our heart to bless families and students who would thrive as members of this community but may be prohibited due to cost.
Key Strategic Goals:
- Purchase flexible furniture to complete our modernized learning environments
- Pay off debt to maintain financial sustainability
- Expand our endowment fund for student financial aid and scholarship opportunities
Our Core Values serve as guideposts for every facility improvement, academic program, spiritual growth opportunity, faculty hire and strategic decision.
We invite you to join us in completing Phase III of the Bright Future vision!
